Great flight yoke but there are some downsides !!

Advantages: easy to set up, looks good, robust, good in game, cheap
Disadvantages: throttles made from weak plastic, doesn't work with some aircraft, some buttons do nothing,

...use. This comes with the saitek set-up program and I was playing in 10 minutes. When you installed the program all you had to do was calibrate it but it was already calibrated and there was no problem with it at all but to just start playing. The yoke Is made out of high quality sturdy plastic and the shaft is stainless steel and is spring loaded. On the top it is metal-plated with saitek engraved on it but I found it was very easy to scratch if ...
...move unlike the throttles from saitek which move so easily there is no effort needed. There is only one cable running from the throttles which connects to the yoke and can be tucked away easily. In game I was really annoyed that 2 of the throttles did absolutely nothing except sit there and do nothing, I found that it would have been easier to fly single piston engine planes but as the mixture and prop didn’t work I changed my mind. I found that ...

Nintendo Wii Nunchuck Controller Review What is a Nunchuck? The Nintendo Wii Nunchuck is a white plastic controller which is meant to be held in your left hand (if you are right handed) like a secondary controller. The Nunchuck has white rubber stick to control movements and two buttons "c" and "z" which are normally used as action buttons. The Nunchuck costs about £15 in most shops and is needed for quite a large number of games. ...
...use the Nunchuck on its own and it needs to be plugged into the Wii remote to work. You just have to clip the Nunchuck in to the bottom of the Wii remote and you will be able to use it. The Nunchuck does actually have some motion sensing abilities but these are not often used and don`t work very well. Try boxing in Wii Sports and you will see what I mean. Durability One problem I have with my Nunchuck is it somehow randomly broke and I am ...

The Xbox 360 wireless controller in full

Advantages: freedom to move around without the worry of knocking things over or pulling the Xbox on the floor
Disadvantages: turnes off when out of range but comes on agian at the toch of a button

I first got an Xbox 3 years ago and first started with wired controllers, although the controllers where good, i always managed to knock things off my coffee table with the wire, and i would always go to walk away and end up pulling the Xbox on the floor, and being a pet owner had to constatly lift up the wire so that my dog did not walk into the wire, then one day my dog went to jump over the wire and pulled the Xbox on the floor damaging it beond ...
...i saw wireless pads and thought it woz in my intrests to buy two, since then my Xbox has stayed in the same place, all my things stayed on the table and my dog walk's around freely, If i need to answer the door or go to the kitchen my controller simpley comes with me and just turnes off wen out of range, coming on again at the touch of a button it has the same look and feel as a wired controller for a bit more of a price but alot less hassle. if ...

A 'wheely' good extra for the Wii!

Advantages: Makes the games more realistic
Disadvantages: Some might not want to pay out for a piece of plastic

...have recently invested in a Nintendo Wii so be prepared for lots of Wii stuff!!! After reading some reviews we decided that we'd get the game Mario Kart as it looked fun and we are quite competitive so could race against each other. This wheel came with the game and we bought an extra one at the same time. The wheel cost £6.99 and is white in colour. It's a little bigger in length than the Wii remotes and is the same shape as a steering wheel that ...
...and on the back is a big blue circle with the words 'Wii' on it. There is a rectangular whole which the Wii remote fits into. This wheel isn't an essential part of the Mario game and you can do without it but I find that it makes the whole game much more exciting. The Wii remote fits into the whole very neatly and extremely easily. Basically you thread the arm belt through a reasonable sized hole and then push on the remote. It fits in really well ...

Xbox 360 Wireless controller - could be better.

Advantages: Wireless, good battery life even with the AA batteries.
Disadvantages: oversized and bulky

...to trip over a chord and bring the system crashing down. Overall this is a good controller. I think that if Microsoft could follow more along the lines of the playstation controllers people such as myself would spend more time on the system and lead to more games beiing sold. ...
